Understanding Support Logic

What is Support Logic

SupportLogic is a customer support AI platform that uses natural language processing to analyze customer interactions and predict customer escalations before they happen.

Getting access to Support Logic

Access is provisioned through Lumos.

Subscription overview

  • Current subscription type: CoreSX
  • Pricing Model: Usage-based (Credits)

Below outlines the features included in our current subscription:

Feature Description

Control Center

The Control Center is the central administrative console in SupportLogic used to manage platform-wide settings. From here, administrators can configure user access, customize the user experience, manage data visibility, and integrate with external systems such as Zendesk and messaging platforms.

The Control Center is divided into two primary configuration categories: General Settings and Pages.

General Settings

The General section provides foundational configuration tools that allow administrators to tailor the platform to organizational needs. Key capabilities include:

  • Defining site-wide defaults, such as user interface branding, enabling CRM writeback and in-app tooltips
  • Creating and managing User Profiles to control layout and feature visibility by user group
  • Configuring Scope to restrict case visibility based on CRM (Zendesk) field values
  • Enabling or disabling specific Fields for use in filters, views, and reports
  • Setting service level objectives (SLOs), including response and resolution time targets

Pages

The Pages section allows administrators to customize the layout and functionality of specific pages within SupportLogic.

For a detailed overview of each setting and its purpose, refer to SupportLogic’s documentation about Control Center > Settings.

Change Management

Changes within Control Center > Settings in SupportLogic are considered ad-hoc and take effect immediately after saving. Because these settings affect platform-wide functionality, it is strongly recommended to test all configuration changes in the SupportLogic Sandbox environment first (once available) before applying them to production.

All proposed changes must use the Customer Support Operations feature request issue template.

Roles and permissions

SupportLogic offers two ways to control what users can see and do in the platform:

  1. Roles & Permissions: Define what actions a user is allowed to perform (For example: creating an alert, ML training, sentiment acknowledgement). For a full list of available permissions and their descriptions, refer to the Role-Based Permissions Guide.
  2. User Profiles: Control which modules, tabs, and visual dashboards are visible in the interface.

Both areas can be configured under SettingsControl Center and can be used together to ensure users have only the access they need.

Creating a role

  1. Go to Control CenterSettingsRoles and Permissions
  2. Click + Add Role
  3. Define the following:
    • Role name and description
    • Scope (optional): Select CRM/Ticket field(s) (Example: Ticket Status) to limit which cases users with this role can access.
    • Scope Ticket Owner (optional): Restricts a user’s access to only the cases where they are listed as the owner in the CRM system.
    • Permissions: Check the boxes for what the role should be able to do.
  4. Click Save

Editing a role

  1. Navigate to Control CenterSettingsRoles and Permissions
  2. Click the dropdown list next to the name of the Role you want to modify and select Edit Role
  3. Modify the role name, scope, ticket owner visibility, and permissions as needed.
  4. Save your changes

Restricting access using User Profiles

To restrict access using User Profiles, go to Control CenterSettingsUser Profiles.From there, you can create a new user profile or edit the user profile for each role. Alternatively, User Profiles can be modified at a role level through Control Center> Settings >Roles & Permissions then click the dropdown list next to the name of the Role you want to modify and select Edit layout.

A full step-by-step guide can be found in SupportLogic User Profiles.

Change Management

Changes to Roles & Permissions and User Profiles in SupportLogic are considered ad-hoc. These updates are made directly within the platform and take effect immediately after saving. Always review changes thoroughly before applying them to prevent unintended access or visibility issues.

Any request to modify roles, permissions, or user profiles must use the Customer Support Operations feature request issue template.

Managing users

Access to SupportLogic is automatically provisioned through Lumos. When a user’s access request gets approved, Lumos creates the user account in SupportLogic and assigns the base-level role (typically Support Engineer role).

Note:

Once Issue #1932 is completed, Lumos will support role and permission selection during the access request process. At that point, users will be able to specify their required role in the initial request, and Lumos will automatically assign it within SupportLogic.

If manual user creation is required (For example: when automated provisioning fails or for non-standard access scenarios), below are the steps to manually add a user in SupportLogic:

  1. Go to Control CenterManage Users
  2. Click + Add User
  3. Enter the user’s name and email address
  4. Choose the appropriate Role
  5. Click Create

Field Configuration and Refresh

Under Control Center > Settings > Fields, administrators can perform field configuration and refresh for both case or ticket fields and customer fields.

Refreshing field values

SupportLogic synchronizes field values from Zendesk. When a new value is added to a Zendesk field or an existing field value changes, you may need to refresh the values in SupportLogic to maintain synchronization.

To refresh field values, navigate to Control Center > Settings > Fields. There are two refresh options available:

  1. Last Refresh (all fields) - Refreshes all fields in the system automatically from top to bottom. Once all fields are refreshed, SupportLogic will display an updated table of field values from Zendesk. Note: Separate refresh required for Case fields and Customer fields.
  2. Refresh (individual field) - Refreshes specific fields when you need to update only certain fields based on changes in Zendesk. Each field displays the timestamp indicating when it was last refreshed.

Creating field value aliases

When field values from Zendesk should be consolidated for better usability in SupportLogic, you can create aliases to link multiple values together into a single display option. This is particularly useful when you have multiple similar values that serve the same functional purpose.

To create a field value alias:

  1. Update the Your Label entry for all values you want to consolidate. SupportLogic will then display a bracket to the left of the linked field values to indicate they are aliased.
  2. (optional) Manually re-order the list for optimal UI display.

Configuring field display name

To customize how field names appear in the SupportLogic interface:

  1. Navigate to Control Center > Settings > Fields
  2. Locate the field you want to modify and hover over the field name to show the pencil icon
  3. Click the pencil icon to open the field name editor
  4. Enter the desired display name
  5. Save the changes

Users will need to refresh their browser to see the updated field labels.

Deleting/removing a field

To remove a field from the SupportLogic interface:

  1. Navigate to Control Center > Settings > Fields
  2. Locate the field you want to remove
  3. Hover over the field row to show the X icon at the end of the line
  4. Click the X to remove the field from the interface

Important: Once a field is removed, it only removes the field from the user interface. However, the data continues to be ingested from Zendesk and stored in SupportLogic. The field remains available for administrators to reconfigure and make visible again at any time.

Mapping new fields and tags

To map new or additional Zendesk fields or tags into SupportLogic, contact support@supportlogic.io as this cannot be done in the Control Center.

Change Management

Changes made to Fields are considered ad-hoc and take effect immediately after saving. Because these settings affect the entire platform, it is strongly recommended to:

  • Test all configuration changes in the SupportLogic Sandbox environment (once it’s available for use) before applying them to production.
  • Consider the impact on both user experience and reporting results.
  • Plan changes carefully as they affect Operational Metrics and quarterly reports.

All proposed changes must use the Customer Support Operations feature request issue template.
